Introducing DEAD PIXEL, as in the screen of the monitor - a malfunction from a single-pixel creates a black dot.
Pap Souleye Fall grew up in Senegal and now lives and works in New York. Much of his works reflects
his growing up within the Diaspora. Being of two worlds, Fall realized that through art he had the
ability to construct his own worlds. As such, he became fascinated with the ways art could be
embedded in everyday life, activat- ing common materials and encounters to explore themes such
as diaspora, post-apocalypse, Utopia, Africanisms, and Afro-Futurism. His work in “IT AIN’T THAT DEEP”
was heavily influenced by his residency at RAIR in Philadelphia in 2023. With Master’s degree in
Sculpture at Yale School of the Arts in 2022 and has received several awards, including
the Black Rock Fellowship (2023), the Ilab Fellowship (2023), the Dedalus Foundation Emerging
Artist Grant, and the Alike Kimball Grant (Yale, 2021). His art has been featured in exhibitions
such as “We are They: Glitch Ecology and the Thickness of Now” in 2023, curated by C.C. McKee,
as well as exhibitions in Philadelphia at Marginal Utility and ICEBOX PROJECT SPACE, and
“Artists Prospering Really is Limitless” in New Haven, CT.
